Craig and Arina,
I would like to express my gratitude for all your help.
Through your site, I have met the lady of my dreams. It has been about 8 months
since I first found your site and I went from being a skeptic to a believer
in your services. Everything you told me about Russia and the Russian people
was true. I could not believe how friendly the Russian people are. I am a
product of the Cold War and I worried how I would be received in Russia. To
my relief, I found the Russians to be warm, wonderful, and helpful. I cannot
wait until I visit Russia again. I also want to say, "Thank you"
to your staff in Togliatti. Their translation of letters helped build a strong
communication base with the lady of my dreams. After my initial translated
letters were sent to over a dozen ladies, I held my breath. I wondered if
I would receive any responses. It took about a week, then the responses started
to return. Like Craig said, I would very quickly determine which ladies I
had common interests with. Within a couple months, I was in contact with only
5 ladies of whom I originally contacted. Out of this five, I felt a very special
bond and I decided to make a phone call. My instincts were correct and I started
only writing and calling this one lady. I felt so comfortable talking with
this lady that I decided to go visit her. As the time came near for me to
fly to Togliatti, my calls to you increased. Through your assurances, I felt
comfortable with the journey I was going to take. You told me that one of
the ladies from the Volga Girl office in Togliatti would be at the Samara
airport to meet me. Julia was there at 12:30 a.m., with her was my "special
lady." We had a wonderful 1 hour drive back to Togliatti. Julia helped
with initial conversations as we drove back to Togliatti. I thank Julia for
being there and also thank her for helping me with the registration the following
day. I also want to say, "Thank you" to Mike, the taxi driver, who
drove us back to Togliattiupon my arrival. Mike also drove myself and my "special
lady" back to Samara, so we could board one of the many Volga River boats
for a fantastic 4 1/2 day river cruise. He was there when we returned. He
also drove me back to Samara in the early morning hours on the day I had to
leave. Now Craig, you are helping me with the visa requirements so that I
may bring this "special lady" to the States. For the help in the
past, present, and the future I again say, "Thank you." Without
you, your site, and your wonderful staff in Togliatti, I would have never
found and met the wonderful lady whom I have fallen in love with.
